Following her success at the 2019 World Championships, Li Shijia quickly added herself to the mix for a shot at making the 2020 Chinese Olympic Team. However, with the postponement of the games by one year, plans have been put on hold. In September the Chinese delegation was able to hold a national championship where Li only competed on bars.
“This year the Olympics were postponed and all the meets were canceled. At home, we practiced for a long time, but finally we can go to a competition [2020 Chinese Nationals]. I’m very excited about it.”
During the intense winter training portion of her training, Li also shared brand new upgrades for 2021:
“During winter training I learned two Ling-pirouettes on bars and changed the routine construction a little. On vault I’m still doing the double twist, but I want to do it better than last year and make it more consistent and more floaty. On beam I added a new switch-leap mount, and on floor I’m doing a triple-full punch front and a new wolf turn.”
